Choose a scenario that could be represented by 5/8. A.an eight-foot ribbon is cut into five equal pieces.

B.an eight-hour bus trip is divided into five equal parts.

C. Five friends share eight cookies equally.

D. five pounds of oats are divided equally among eight horses.

D. Five pounds of oats are divided equally among eight horses.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scenario representing 5/8 has to involve a quantity of 5 being divided by 8.

The situation with the oats and horses represents 5/8, because the 5 pounds of oats are being equally divided among the 8 horses.

The other answer choices are incorrect because they are dividing 8 by 5 instead, which is 8/5 instead of 5/8.

So, the correct answer is D. Five pounds of oats are divided equally among eight horses.

The greatest number he can have in each now is 17 oak trees and 9 pine trees. This is assuming that he is not allowed to have just one row.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the smallest number both are divisible by other than 1 is 3. Then we can divide the total number of each type by 3.

54 oak/ 3 = 17 oak trees

27 pine/ 3 = 9 pine trees
